Why Upside Down?

by Drima on March 17, 2007

Okay, I just noticed that the Free Sami Now banner on my side bar has the Sudanese flag on it upside down which is basically dishonoring Sudan! WTFish?

Our flag looks like this:

It must have been a careless mistake by whoever made it (or was it the Jooooz?). Should I remove it? Hmmm… I think I might.

UPDATE: Heh. Okay I think I got it all wrong. Symbolism is interpretted differently by different people. Mark has an explanation.

I am not sure if other countries have different meanings, but in the US if a US flag is flown upside down it is regarded as a sign of distress and a call for aid. I would find it odd for a person to make the random mistake of placing a flag upside down, perhaps the person creating the graphic thought the same symbolism would carry over.

Here is a site that talks about the American Symbolism. http://www.jeffhead.com/liberty/flagdistress.htm

Thanks for that Mark. It could explain why the banner is designed that way. Symbolism is tricky, for different people a symbol can mean different things.
